It's An Objective Fact That

In Sports, I Refused To Do Any Interviews That Were Just Going To Become Human-interest Stories. Don't Turn Me Into A Tragic Heroine.

There’s An Important Difference And Distinction Between The Objective Medical Fact Of My Being An Amputee And The Subjective Societal Opinion Of Whether Or Not I’m Disabled. Truthfully, The Only Real And Consistent Disability I’ve Had To Confront Is The World Ever Thinking That I Could Be Described By Those Definitions.

An Athlete Experiences The Emotions Of Pain And Elation Through Triumph And Defeat, Through Teamwork And Individuality, As Nothing More Than A Human Being...that Is The True Glory Of Sport.

When I'm Curious About Something, I Do It Full On And Take It As Far As I Go, But When I Feel Like I've Really Explored It, I'm Ok With Putting It Aside And Going On To Something Else.

People Presume My Disability Has To Do With Being An Amputee, But That's Not The Case; Our Insecurities Are Our Disabilities, And I Struggle With Those As Does Everyone.
